This might not be the solution you're looking for, but it's possible to insert tables in the form of LaTex. Unfortunately only built-in packages seem to work, I couldn't get "table" or "tabular" so you're very limited in terms of formatting.
Thanks, you're 100% correct - and that was my first thought too. You can get a very rudimentary table working, but it doesn't load correctly on mobile devices. If Substack had full support for all Latex tags, that would be even more perfect for minimalistic tables.
Thanks for this. I was searching for a solution and this came up! I didn't even know about Datawrapper - what a great resource. Appreciate you taking the time to explain.
Hey! Yes, they don’t hide it per se, but I find it weird that there’s no “insert table”/“insert chart” button in the post editor. I’m guessing they’re working on an internal solution and don’t want to be coupled too strongly to Datawrapper, so it’s neither hidden nor promoted too strongly.

Example:
\begin{array}{c c}
\textbf{Measurement outcome} & \textbf{Expression} \\
\hline
00 & \alpha |0\rangle + \beta|1\rangle \\
01 & \alpha |1\rangle + \beta|0\rangle \\
10 & \alpha |0\rangle - \beta|1\rangle \\
11 & \alpha |1\rangle - \beta|0\rangle \\
\end{array}

UGH so complicated. I just want simple tables.... this is too many steps for an old person.
Let me know if you need help figuring this out, happy to record a little demo video if that helps.

wonderful find. Thank you
There actually is an article on the Substack support page by the way:

Hi Nikita! Great points. I hope you're right, it would be great to have some tables to work with!
Really helpful, thank you!
Thanks a lot for sharing this. I was just looking for this only. I appreciate your post.
¡Me funcionó! Gracias.
